[Nut-upsuser] MGE Pulsar M 3000 communication problems

Hallo,

I installed nut 2.0.4 on a Solaris 8 and tried two things:

First I wanted the ups to connect via usb, but I could not compile the
usb drivers. Make usb told me: no target named usb found

Second, because both ups and host have serial ports I tried to get it
working with serial.

The driver starts very fine, but takes a long time to detect the ups.

Upsd starts too, but while get in contact with the ups I am told:

Connected to UPS [mge3000-1]: mge-shut-ttyb
Synchronizing........ giving up

Starting upsmon is working as well, but I get strange communication
events from then.

Strange. Doesn't your Makefile contain a line "usb: build-usb"? 
Make
sure to do "make usb" in the main NUT directory, not in one of the
subdirectories such as drivers/. -- Peter

Have a look at the mge-shut manpage, "KNOWN ISSUES" section.

[Nut-upsuser] MGE Pulsar M 3000 communication problems

Hello Arnaud and others,>I should have started by this mail ;-)
maybe ...
>Have a look at the mge-shut manpage, "KNOWN ISSUES" section.
I've had already done so and set the MAXAGE value to 45, notification is set
to 3 as suggested.

Today I set MAXAGE to exactly 25, but the error persists. 
Okay, not exactly. Now the "Synchronizing" on startup seem to work,
but after several seconds I get the "communication lost" errors again.

Regards,
Ingo
